If they are going to do a real throw back night, they should put on Jerseys from the Cincinnati Stingers of the old WHA.

One or two probably retarded Leftists complained, ergo an apology must made.

It’s amazing what sets off liberal cretins.

A single player wore a red jersey. The horror.

Fox News:

“Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.”

It was a FBI “riot”.

Fox News is playing on the enemy’s team.
